Kennards Concrete Care supplied a 10-inch self propelled concrete planer to easily remove a trip hazard in the car park of a major new development in Melbourne.

The concrete planer with an attached dust collector hired out by Kennards Concrete Care was used to scarify the edge of a slab before a 200mm topping was added. The depth on the planer was gradually adjusted since a fall of 80mm to 0 was required to align surfaces and avoid a trip hazard.

The head foreman on the project preferred to use the self-propelled planer since the work involved a total area of 500 square metres. Walk-behind machines are effective only for small areas.
